Overview & Reviews

Honda redesigns its cars and trucks every four to five years, whether they need it or not. For 2001, it's the Honda Civic's turn. Larger inside and out, with more powerful engines but a less sophisticated suspension, coupes and sedans return in familiar DX, LX and EX trims, while HX models come with two doors only. The GX Sedan is powered by natural gas. Unfortunately, the hatchback dies just when Americans are once again figuring out how useful they can be, and the sporty Si goes on hiatus for a year or two.

• Fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly engines, reputation for durability, neato CVT transmission, likely to retain a healthy chunk of original value, impressive crash-test scores.

• Si goes bye-bye, gotta get the EX or GX for ABS, vanilla-flavored sedan styling.

  good car, not great - 2001 Honda Civic
  By thegreek - September 2 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my Civic EX 5speed for 2 years on this month. Over all its been a good car, pretty relaible. My problems have been my SRS light came on and they had to reset it same with the side air bag light. My battery just went after the first 18 months but they warrentied it for free. It drives well and I like the car alot, I never feel concerned about it starting or breaking down. The clutch is a little diferent than some other cars but works very smoothly once your used to it.

  Nice car, However... - 2001 Honda Civic
  By Schlotter - September 2 - 10:00 am

  Like all Hondas, this one is bullet proof. However, the ride is very rough. You will feel every bump. Hitting bumps send shock waves through the car. After driving this car for two years, I have figured out where all the bumps are on my way to work. My 1995 Civic had a much better ride. So I plan to trade it in for a different Honda (Pilot). Too bad, because this car has a lot going for it.

  2001 Civic EX Sedan - 2001 Honda Civic
  By 2001 Civic - August 26 - 9:09 pm

  Purchased this car as a replacement for my 1993 Civic Coupe. Overall a good used car. Fuel Mileage is great as long as you keep below 3500 RPM. Ive had a few issues such as front wheel bearing, pass side front window regulator, alternator but overall expected since the car has over 130K. Build quality seems lacking compared to my old 1993 Civic. Just more rattles, etc than the old car had.

  My new 2001 Civic - 2001 Honda Civic
  By My 2001 Civic - August 11 - 10:33 am

  I bought a new 4 door LX Civic with standard transmission. Gas mileage is great, but have had a continual plague of mechanical problems. Air dam fell off many times- finally left it off. Gas filler door release failed. Passenger window will not go up when it rains. Front wheel bearing failed at 45000 miles. Engine mount failed at 60000 miles. Headliner fell down in back seat at 65000. Air bag SRS light comes on, 67000 miles the front end bounces and moves on the road when you hit small bumps.Rear window defroster does not work

  2001 Honda Civic 4dr EX - 2001 Honda Civic
  By Hamp - July 4 - 2:00 am

  Bought my 5th Honda product (including 1 lawn mower) back in 2001. We really enjoy the room that this car has and the gas mileage is incredible (35-42 MPG). Front end suspension is very noisy and loose feeling. The interior needs a little more attention to detail and the radio needs more power.

  nice, but could be better - 2001 Honda Civic
  By civicex01 - June 22 - 10:00 am

  good, solid car, but I miss my eg hatchback with its better suspenion and handeling. All other new Hondas and Acuras get big power upgrades, except the civics.

  Civic in the Sun - 2001 Honda Civic
  By dps - June 14 - 2:00 am

  Great commuter car, not for a long trip. Quality has not been what I expect from Honda (Interior molding loose, drivers side light switch failure, very easily dented by parking lot mishaps). Seat adjustment limited.

  Fuel Economy - 2001 Honda Civic
  By SundayRvr1983 - June 13 - 10:31 am

  I have owned this car for 3 years I honestly can say its one of the best cars I have ever owned. I have 89,000 miles on it, never once have had any major issues. Aside from a few minor repairs from wear and tear, nothing major has happened to it. I must say that Im very pleased with the outcome of this car.

  Fun and Economical - 2001 Honda Civic
  By jaydelynne99 - May 28 - 10:00 am

  Never had any problems with the vehicle. Would like a little more storage on the interior for maps and cds. Ride is quite bumpy but you can expect that from any small car. Really fun to drive. From all the reviews Ive read, you cant beat the quality and value of this car.

  I thought Honda was the best - 2001 Honda Civic
  By DoBetterPls! - May 16 - 2:00 am

  We thought the perfect car for my husband and then pass it on to my teenager, but we noticed it did not handle good and the suspension is horrible. very disappointed to find that there is a defective part in the transmission. Had to go back and forth to dealer to find out. The sensor light would go on and off. disappointed with my 2001.
